I mailed a package to my friend in Kentucky last Saturday. She received it safe and sound yesterday so I thought I’d share pictures of what I sent to her. The soaker is for her 8-month old girl. Yarn: Cascade 220 (green and brick-red) and Sensations Kashmira (aqua – discontinued).

Originally I was going to make a face on the back side but didn’t have the right colors of yarn to finish it.
I also sent her very own pair of Musica Mitts. She loves music and commented on the mitts I made for Mr. Aitch so I thought I’d make a pair for her.

And you didn’t lose count when counting. The soakers and gloves are great. The colors are great.

I’m going blind with a pair of sz 2 needles for socks. I’ve finished 7 inches of cuff and my knitting group is tonight. I’m learning the “heel.” Wish me luck. I come here, to you, for inspiration. Then I am overwhelmed with your capacity to produce so much. You are a walking, breathing, knitting machine!!! I love it!
